Live Streaming: Great Adventure in the Wilderness

Chapter 267: Chapter 264 Action Begins

F*ck!

The audience was extremely shocked.

So when Bi Fang said he was joining, he didn’t mean as a contestant but as a judge?

That’s freaking cool!

While everyone else was fighting tooth and nail for first place, the real big shot had already taken his throne, watching everyone’s performance.

And he was holding a bucket of popcorn in his hands.

[Bro, I’m already a judge, you know.]

[Mugalen: That’s your so-called joining? Is that polite?]

[I thought we were on the same starting line, but it turns out you’re not just in the audience, you’re a judge in the audience. Also, put the popcorn down, it’s offensive.]

[Popcorn: I feel offended.]

[Well, with Master Fang’s standing, it would be beneath him to compete with everyone else.]

Audiences both domestic and international were not only undismayed but even more excited to hear that Bi Fang would not compete but would be a judge, as if their idol’s status in the industry had been recognized. He was completely unlike the contestants who were struggling to prove themselves!

Bi Fang smiled and knocked on the table. There was no need for a preamble today; he would save it for the official live stream the day after tomorrow, as it was just an ordinary hunting mission.

He took out a piece of white paper, stated all the game rules provided by the show, and once the audience had understood, he switched the camera back to the contestants in the hotel lobby.

“Within three days, a four-person team will hunt everyone. For each successful capture, they’ll be rewarded with a thousand US dollars, and if a contestant successfully escapes, they can also get a starting prop. So everyone is going full throttle. Today, four people will be hunted in total. You all can guess how many the show team will catch.”

As he spoke, Bi Fang opened a betting pool by himself, with five options ranging from one to four, and one being that nobody would be caught.

The System will automatically adjust the odds according to the amount of Wolf Brush bet by everyone.

[Sh*t, Old Fang isn’t throwing in his lot, I’ll follow Old Fang’s bets!]

[Right, right, let’s follow Old Fang.]

[Hold on, isn’t there a preamble? I’m confused.]

[Someone wants to fleece my Wolf Brush, dream on!]

The audience had grown wiser from past experience, sensing a trap in this round of betting.

Master Fang became serious and immediately enticed them, “How could there be a trap? Why would I deceive you over such a small matter? Plus, look, the ones carrying out the hunting mission are the four brothers. Bet boldly and confidently!”]

Huh?

It’s the four-man team again?

Upon hearing Bi Fang’s words, everyone was startled and turned their attention to the live stream. Upon closer inspection, they realized it was true!

Everyone had witnessed the performance of the four brothers last time and couldn’t help but feel they were somewhat unreliable.

Suddenly, the audience became energized, and the number of people betting on three and four surged. It seemed that everyone was quite confident in the contestants’ ability to escape capture.

Just then, Bi Fang’s phone buzzed. He picked it up and saw a message from Étienne, asking which option he should bet on.

The kid is pretty smart, seeking insider information.

Bi Fang glanced at the camera, avoided being filmed, and sent out his message.

“All in on ‘none’.”

As a judge, Bi Fang had slightly altered the hunting sequence, a privilege he still had. The result was that the four least likely to escape were arranged on the first day.

The purpose was to create an upset.

When the audience saw the comically inept four-man team performing heroically, the contrasting effect would naturally enhance the show, definitely boosting the ratings.

Later, if someone did manage to escape, it would cause an even bigger sensation—this was a classic case of holding back before pushing forward.

Of course, Bi Fang admitted that there was a chance he could be wrong and someone might actually escape, but the probability was indeed smaller compared to those in the following two rounds.

After sending that message, Bi Fang’s thumb moved again, quickly following up with another one, then he smiled and put the phone in his pocket.

Étienne, who received the message, hadn’t had the chance to be happy when he saw the content; his face fell immediately.

The phone’s screen prominently displayed a few words.

“Did you finish your homework?”

…

The group of four kept touching base with the contestants, who were either completely oblivious or pretending to be, in a ruse to lull the contestants into a false sense of security.

On the surface, he seemed to be just preparing to have lunch.

Bi Fang began to introduce the contestants and also showed off the starting items he’d prepared, whetting the audience’s appetite, leaving them wondering who would get the starting rewards.

The rewards only belong to the strong!

Those who could capture the escapee were definitely not weak. Gaining an item early on could definitely play a significant role, so for the contestants, this was not just a simple escape game. It could very well determine the outcome of the game!

[Wow, Old Fang seems to have an emperor-like vibe, so much power!]

[Is there anyone bribing Old Fang? (Dog’s head)]

[With Old Fang’s current wealth, how much money would it take to bribe him, not enough even if the prize money is gone, right?]

[Are there any female contestants?]

[Hehehe, buddy, you’re onto something, I think it’s doable too]

[Old Fang, come on, are there any female contestants? What do they look like?]

“Well, you said it, there are indeed female contestants.”

Seeing the barrage of comments, Bi Fang casually pulled out a stack of files and flipped through them, selecting two. They contained personal information and ID photos.

“Ava Monson and Lisa Price, one is a professional off-road athlete, and the other is a member of Beret Hat, both very formidable.”

Showing the IDs to everyone, it immediately provoked a burst of exclamations.

[Holy crap, there are really women participating?]

[Can women handle this kind of thing? Feels like they are going to drop dead!]

[They look average.]

[Nonsense, ID photos can’t look that good, but for sure they have a nice figure, girls who exercise always do]

[You guys are focusing on the weirdest things, seriously. To have the courage to sign up for this show is already impressive. Can we be serious?]

Bi Fang nodded in agreement, actually, judging by the photos both did look pretty average, but not ugly, certainly passable, which disappointed a bunch of perverted netizens.

But seeing a bunch of people underestimating the women, Bi Fang couldn’t help but say a few words.

“Actually, although women may not be as strong as men, Wilderness Survivalist is mainly about experience and skills, and it’s not necessary for only strong people to survive it. Women aren’t completely out of the running, and in certain situations in the wilderness, women might even have an advantage over men.”

[? Old Fang, you’re not joking, are you? Tell us, do you have a girlfriend now? Did she make you say that?]

[Old Fang, if you’re being held hostage, blink blink]

[How could that be, the extreme records are all set by men, that’s an objective fact!]

Bi Fang shook his head: “That’s why I said ‘in certain situations’. Women have more robust immune systems, estrogen can also protect the cardiovascular system, they have a lower metabolic rate, stronger endurance, and even live longer. Not to mention fat content, several percentage points higher. Under the same conditions, such women would be able to out-hunger the men.

Men, with their well-developed muscles and high levels of testosterone, have a lower immune level and, in a variety of situations, are more likely to die than women.”

The audience was suddenly taken aback; this was the first time they had heard such a statement.

“But our show isn’t about who can survive hunger. If someone just lasts these twelve days by enduring hunger, they definitely don’t meet the standard, so you need to go hunting, to find food. In that situation, strong men certainly have an advantage, so…”

But before Bi Fang could finish his sentence, he noticed the chat had exploded.

In the live stream, the group of four was making their move!
